It's been a long time since I suck on a lollipop. I remembered that it was always a treat to buy a ChupaChups from the lollipop stand near the cashiers. The lollipops were wrapped with brightly yellow & red colors.

So you can imagine how thrilled I was when I found these charms! They are so brightly colored and adorably cute! They are ChupaChups licensed merchandise charms (not some cheap fake goods). I only managed to grab 8 and I am keeping 1 (or maybe 2) for myself!

Available in yellow, orange, blue, purple, clear & pink colors. I will list them progressively.. Do check them out!

Overall my years of selling online, I sometimes come across "unclaimed" parcels that were returned back to me. Most of them were returned because they were left in the post office "unclaimed".

My next steps are usually to inform the buyers that their purchased item was returned back to me and if they require them to be resent, additional postage costs will be required. Most of the customers will reply and I will resend the item.

However, there are some that DO NOT reply, and I end up stuck with these items.

Apologies for the delayed blog, I just came back from my work trip to HK. I was so excited during the past weekend becos my cuff bracelet was featured on the Etsy mailer which caused a sudden surge in demand / sales for this bracelet. *happy*

I was even more thrilled to find out that my Tiffany inspired aqua chalcedony earrings are featured on the "Inspired by Tiffany Co" treasury by SeaPinks.

I have been so busy these days as I prepare for a short work trip to Hong Kong next week, just for 2 days. It's just bad timing as well that my hubby is going through a rough patch and prefer that I am around.. :( Nevertheless, we'll still spend time during the short weekend.

So in honor of marriage and what it means to me :) Here's my favorite movie so far!! Made me laugh and cry buckets. Hope you'll enjoy it too!

I wanted to blog something happy initially as I finally got over my Monday blues. But something happened to me today that compel me to blog and get some feedback from my blog friends.

Million Dollar QnHave you ever gotten to ANGRY with a customer that you REFUSE to do business with them?

For me... YES I have gotten angry with some customers but to the point of not ever doing business with me, NO. I think customer service is very important personally and no matter how angry we may be due to unreasonable or ridiculous customer, it still pays to be polite and objective. I tend to "play the ball not the man".

What do you think?

What happened you might ask?I was asked by a friend to inquire about an item from this seller. My friend told me that this seller has not been responsive to her so things might be different if I was the one asking since I am a fellow crafter and I have not conversed with this seller before etc.

Anyway, things went on great and I was going to purchase 2 items, 1 for my friend and the other myself (yes I was tempted to get something for myself). As my friend wanted to pay via another mode of payment, I thought it may be more convenient if there were 2 listings and my friend can just purchase it herself. After that last convo, I got a reply asking me to tell my friend to refrain from contacting them any more whether it was via her directly or proxy.

It's Monday. I got the blues. I had such a great weekend, attended a wonderful wedding, crafted and spent quality time with my in laws & husband. But then comes Monday.. it's been a really busy day for me, meetings after meetings. I just hope the day is over soon... *sigh*

I have these lemonade chalcedony for quite some time now but never got the inspiration to work on them. Today, I made a necklace & earrings set. My very first set! What do you think? I must say, I hate taking photos of anything yellow, for some reason, the photos never turn out as great as I want to. *sulk*.

Hopefully you will be able to see the beauty in these jewels through these photos as I see them in real life.

I just came back from my primary school (from age 7 - 12) friend's wedding dinner. The dinner was delish. The menu was not the usual Chinese dinner (8 / 9 course of auspicious Chinese meals including shark fins, mushrooms, fish, noodles). Instead if was a variety of local (Singaporean) cuisines.

Here's what I had. Of cos, it is presented individually with a more classy setting.

It's great to be included again in a Treasury. It's the 2nd time this week. God is good to me. *beam*. My Red tulips drops were featured in Kugey's Red Tulips are so pretty treasury.

Here are some of my favorites.

Beautiful Red Tulip Card by BedermannArtI love the red tulip against the gray/black background. It really makes the photo pop! Also, it's a great change from the expect-able rose to the beautiful but less featured tulips.

RED Tulip Drops. Earrings by Piggy (that's me!)Lastly my beautiful drop earrings that are available in 9 different colors. I love these Lucite flowers beads that are just fun and beautiful to work with.

Headband Fascinator by StarrbeadsFeathers & flowers.. how can you ever go wrong with this combination. Stunning headband that can be wore together with a LBD. Definitely a conversation starter.

Unique lilac Eiffel Tower charm is matched with gunmetal silver ribbon & findings to make the cutest pair of earrings. Also available in a matching necklace.
